I just spent 4 weeks looking at and researching safes. To paraphrase what was said above, the amount of security you receive in a safe is directly proportional to the amount of money you spend. They are correct! I started out with a budget of $1000.00 before my research, In the middle of my research I quickly raised that amount to 1600.00 and in the end spent 2000.00. I still didn't purchase what I felt was enough security, but it was better than the oak gun cabinet with thin glass doors! I also installed a camera in the same room as the safe which alerts my phone of motion in the room. My safe weighs a thousand pounds and is lag bolted to the concrete with 1/2 inch diameter concrete lag bolts 4 inches long. The only way in would be on the side of the safe and any thief willing to take that long and that much effort for a few guns would just shock me. I think I got less than I wanted but probably much more than I need. A coupe of bucks, a few watches and a handful of guns isn't exactly pro thief territory. It keeps the guns safe from the grandkids, fire, and will stop any smash and grab type robberies,
